Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Burundi
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation Ambassador Albert Shingiro indicated, during the opening of the Open Day held on May 7, 2024, that the implementation of the vision Burundi emerging country in 2040 and Burundi developed country in 2060 is possible. In his motivation, he reminded the guests that some of them come from the countries that have taken the path of emergence and development and have succeeded, and others are on the way and recording successes and are at the level of non-return; while others, like Burundi, are getting started little by little but surely. It is therefore an opportunity for the Burundians to capitalize on all experiences, expertise, lessons learned in terms of the successes and obstacles.
Furthermore, the Head of State His Excellency Evariste Ndayishimiye declared that the success of the implementation of the Vision requires its appropriation by all in order to strengthen the participation and commitment of all the citizens, the civil societies, the private sector, the non-governmental organizations, the international community as well as the development partners.
It will also result from the ability of maintaining a favorable environment that can guarantee peace and political stability in the country and mutually the beneficial strategic partnerships with the partners who wish moving forward with Burundi.
To that end, Minister Albert Shingiro invited all the participants in the activities of that Open Day to make that day their own and not to hesitate to enrich the debate which would be around the themes which were prepared for the occasion.
